A man drowned in a fish pond this afternoon in the Erasmus kloof area of Pretoria. It is alleged that the man was working for a landscape company at Castle Park. His friends had last seen him yesterday but when they arrived at work this morning they found his belongings floating in the fish pond.
Netcare paramedics from the Pretoria East base as well as police were dispatched to the call. When they arrived they were unable to ascertain if the man was in the pond and the police divers were called. Divers searched to murky water and recovered the body of the missing worker sadly he had passed away some hours before.
